Healthy Chicken Recipe: Less Than 20 minutes and Under 250 Calories

Cheesy Balsamic Asparagus Chicken

This mouth-watering healthy chicken recipe is delicious and doesn’t break the caloric bank.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts

1 ounce white cheddar or mozzarella cheese

6 mini salami

10-12 stalks asparagus

1 small tomato

1-2 Tbsp. Balsamic Vinegar

Instructions

Fill a pot half full with water. Snap the asparagus stalks in half and place in pot. Bring water to a boil. Butterfly chicken breasts and place on skillet on low-medium heat. When asparagus pot reaches a boil, reduce heat and cover with lid. After 3-4 minutes flip chicken breasts. Top with cheese, salami and tomato. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes. Make sure chicken is fully cooked (thicker chicken breasts may require a longer cooking time, but the key for maintaining a juicy chicken breast is slow and low heat). Drain water from asparagus pot and place half on a plate. Top with the chicken breast and follow with the rest of the asparagus. Use a spoon to drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Top with black pepper if desired!

Hi Katelyn, I tried the healthy chicken recipe tonight. It was very nice and easy to prepare. I didn’t have any asparagraus so I used broccoli and I added rice to my dinner. Hope all is well with you and Zach. You are probably anxious to get home by now. All my love always, Grandma
